Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers

Last Thursday Bruun Rasmussen offered a new point of impact in Danish design history, with a beautiful, one-of-a-kind set of furniture from 1941 by the unknown theatre architect Orla Høyer. The unusual furniture set is the clearest expression of Nordic Art Deco Bruun Rasmussen has ever seen at its auctions.

This summer's international auction at Bruun Rasmussen in Copenhagen has just ended with an iconic auction of Russian art. With a World record on Russian icons and a total hammer price of DKK 27.6 million (€ 3.7 million / € 4.8 million including buyer's premium), auction history was made on Friday 9th June.

At Tuesday evening's auction at Bruun Rasmussen in Copenhagen, the work “Harvest” (2007) by the American artist Robert Rauschenberg fetched a hammer price of more that one million Danish kroner (€ 156,000)

There were plenty of eager bidders at Thursday’s jewellery auction at Bruun Rasmussen in Copenhagen, where an elegant diamond bracelet from the "King of Diamonds" Harry Winston was sold for DKK 510,000. This is a Danish auction record for a bracelet, and at the same time it is the second highest hammer price for a piece of jewellery in the history of the auction house.

The summer's international auction in Copenhagen began in style on Tuesday when we sold a unique picture book from 1868-69 by Hans Christian Andersen for DKK 2.9 million (€ 507,000 including buyer’s premium). This is a Danish auction record for a work by the world-famous Danish author.

The talented artists of the future will be given the full spotlight when Bruun Rasmussen, in collaboration with the Copenhagen Photo Festival, swings the hammer over a selection of works from the censored exhibition at the photo festival.

Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers of Fine Art will exhibit the highlights from one of the largest Russian auctions in the history of the auction house at the Danish Embassy in London in connection with Russian Art Week 1-2 June. The auction itself takes place in Copenhagen on the 9th of June.

This summer's international auction at Bruun Rasmussen in Copenhagen focuses on the legendary Rolex watches from the period between the 1950s and 70s, which are currently seeing a renewed interest due to the high quality of the period’s wristwatches and their timeless design.

Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers marks the 100th anniversary of the sale of the Danish West Indies with Wilhelm Marstrand's depiction of his brother’s family from St. Thomas – a genuine piece of Danish colonial history with the beautiful Afro-Caribbean nanny Justina in the middle of the painting.

For the first time ever, Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers in Copenhagen offers an exclusive diamond bracelet from the legendary American jeweller Harry Winston. The bracelet was designed by Francois Tavernier in 1965 and is estimated at a price of DKK 400,000-500,000.
